[chandler-users] plugin installation and task import questions

[Mimi Yin]

Hi,

May I ask how you are getting your Outlook calendar into Google? Are  
you syncing between Outlook and Google?

You can export your tasks out of Outlook as an .ics (iCalendar) file,  
you can import them into Chandler.

20Calendars

In the next update to Chandler Hub (in a few weeks), you should be  
able to sync Tasks and Events from Chandler to other iCalendar  
services like Google. The best way to get that working is to publish  
your data from Chandler Desktop to Chandler Hub and then subscribe to  
Chandler Hub from Google.

We don't formally support syncing with Google Calendar via Chandler  
Hub, but you can do it by following the instructions for: Subscribe  
with Apple iCal 2.x (Mac OS X 10.4 - Tiger)

20iCal,%20Sunbird...

You will first need to sign up for a Chandler Hub account: http:// 
chandlerproject.org/sign-up

As for syncing with PocketInformant, what data do you need to sync?  
New tasks and events you input into your mobile device that  
ultimately end up in Outlook and Google Calendar?

Do I understand you correctly that most of your calendar and tasks  
live in Outlook and Google Calendar and you're looking for a Desktop  
solution for Linux that you can keep in sync with a set up you have  
on Windows?
